#History #PopeInViterbo #MedievalRevolt
Did you know that a seemingly innocent incident with a dog and a fountain led to a full-blown revolt in Viterbo in 1377? πΆπ¦ It all started when a Cardinal’s retainer attempted to give his little dog a bath in a local fountain. The woman waiting in line behind him was not having it and complained loudly. This sparked a heated argument, which quickly escalated into a brawl and eventually a full-scale revolt. π±
The revolt resulted in several casualties, including the woman who initially complained, as well as significant damage to buildings in the area. It just goes to show how even the smallest actions can have major consequences in history! #SmallActionsBigConsequences
Can you imagine if a similar incident happened today? It’s hard to believe that something so trivial could have such a monumental impact on an entire city. Let this be a lesson to always consider the potential consequences of our actions, no matter how insignificant they may seem at the time. #LessonFromHistory #ThinkBeforeYouAct

According to some sources, it was the retainer himself who killed her because she kept insulting him during the rant, and the murder is what sparked the brawl. The Pope threatened to level the entire town, including the fountain before the situation calmed. He settled with destroying just the fountain and executing a few people
And the dog? What happened to the dog??
>resulting in several dead, including the woman, as well as many destroyed buildings
sure, but how was the little dog?
A fountain people got their _drinking water_ fromβ½
Dog people being entitled is timeless I guess, bathing a dog in drinking waterβ¦
Catholics be crazy
I guess she disagreed that cleanliness is next to dogliness
Are you telling me Italians don’t know how to control their anger? I will never believe it.
Even back then, a Karen
But what happened to the little dog?
Satan probably brings this up with God every chance he gets.
